bet365 Mobile Betting App: Compatible with Android and iPhones

UK sportsbetting giant bet365’s new smart phone betting application, Mobile at bet365 is now available for UK bettors. The new app allows punters to place wagers and watch live sports from Android, iPhones and iPads. (Have you heard about the iPad 3?) According to the company’s website, all that’s needed to get started on mobile betting is an Internet-enabled phone.

Features

Some highlights of the app, which is available at no cost to bet365 account holders, includes most of the features bettors expect to find on the company’s main site, including in-play betting on horse racing and other events.

The biggest draw for most players, besides the betting is the ability to watch live sporting events and races on their phones. How smoothly these streams run depend a lot on both connection and processor speeds on individual phones.

Bettors are able to utilize funds in their regular bet365 account for mobile bets from sources including credit and debNeteller, Click2Pay, Ukash and Entropay. Mobile bettors can also utilize PayPal, Moneybookers, Instadebit and Paysafecard.

International Travel

The biggest question asked about mobile betting services of all kinds is whether or not they can used internationally. And, yes, this app does work internationally. The big catch is, the account is tied to a phone that’s enabled in a country where betting is legal. That means making bets from a foreign location will certainly involve a hefty international roaming charge.

The Future of Betting

Mobile sports betting apps are clearly going to constitute a big chunk of the sports gaming market in the future. As more advanced smart phones become ever cheaper and available to the public, this could easily become the primary connection between sports books and bettors. After all, there’s an element of privacy on a mobile phone app that’s not present on the family computer.

And the sooner affiliates adjust their marketing plans to capture a chunk of this growing market, the better off they’ll be.
